Gerwyn Price wants to change the Premier League Darts format. On Friday, 29 May 2026, PDC chief executive Matt Porter said "watch this space" regarding potential tweaks.
What happened?
The current system features a mini-tournament on each of the 16 regular nights, with quarter-finals, semi-finals, and a final.
Why it matters for Gerwyn Price
Gerwyn Price proposes a mixture of the old and current system, with 10 players competing in a round-robin style before the bottom two are eliminated.
The World No 7 and 2023 Premier League runner-up wrote on Facebook: "Back to the old format of 10 players all playing one game per night."
What comes next?
Other top players, including Luke Littler and Luke Humphries, have also shared their thoughts on potential format changes.
Luke Littler, the World No 1 and two-time Premier League champion, wants to play one game a night, with an extra two players and a 'Judgement Night' reinstated.
Luke Humphries, the World No 2 and 2025 Premier League champion, suggests increasing the number of players to 10 to stop arguments over who should be included.
Gerwyn Price's proposal includes a 'Royal Rumble' element to provide added excitement.
